Fried potatoes and onions with Velveeta processed cheese food.
I’ve eaten in very expensive restaurants and had exquisite meals. My Mother is an amazing cook and has amazed the entire family more times than I could count. I have a few dishes I can honestly say I have damn near perfected.
But on a trip to Quetico Provincial Park I had the best meal of my life.
To make a very long story only long, several high school friends and I were on a 10 day survival camp trip. Due to circumstances I won’t go into here we were out of food by day 7. In Quetico no radios are allowed so with no way to call for help were SOL with only one option - a 3 day trek back to base without food. Now 3 days w/o food would be bad enough, but we had to cover quite a bit of ground in those 3 days, normally burning a LOT of calories.
Late on day 9 as we were looking to make camp, we came across a bunch of guys from Canada who took mercy on us and gave the 8 of us a 5 lb. bag of potatoes, a 5 lb. bag of onions and a 2 lb. brick of Velveeta.
Never before has food tasted like that. I hope it never does again.
